He showed us something Saturday. Now let’s see how they do against the Evil Hoodie and his minions.

Go Ravens!

Custer was a General too. Let’s not get carried away. He threw a few good deep balls and at least one of them should have been picked off.

====================================

Custer was a lieutenant colonel, not a general. But thats not the point here. Flacco has won more games than anyone other QB up to this point in his career. If you think the defense gets the credit, why didn’t Boller win games?

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 23:04:40 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1644636#comment-2259011Personally, I love it. Flacco’s fluke TD will now get him the big contract extension, and the 10 more years I PRAY he spends in Baltimore, and continues the mediocrity. So yes, pay Joe, he’s uh, “truly elite” and you MUST keep him in Baltimore!

Thank you Denver defense, for being so stupid.

PLEASE finish your career in Crabtown, Mr. Flacco. You’re the QB the town deserves!

Your team is on the couch watching the true AFCN champs represent, playing in the AFC Championship. Hate on, Ive seen your posts, I know your type.

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:51:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1644636#comment-2258526Peyton admitted in the press conference it WAS a fumble. The first pick was a close call but in real speed it should not have been called. In slow speed it was closer, but I think it was called correctly. There were two hands to the face penalties against the Ravens that were inaccurate as well as a glancing face mask that Deirdorf called Ticky-Tack. There was also a Holding call against the Ravens where Williams had his hand on the receiver but did nothing to change his route or turn him at all. This touching goes on every play. For anyone to blame to loss on the Refs is not very football intelligent. Calls are part of the game. I think coaching was the difference. The broncos continued to play man coverage and bring the safeties up. On the Hail Mary they should have been in a full prevent with what some teams are calling the “Dollar” package (more than the dime) If you have a hall of fame QB and 30 seconds and three timeouts and one need 30-40 yards for a field goal – take a chance. They could have run 6 plays. Ravens responded better to game conditions an simply deserved the win

The thread is about the improved play of Joe the general Flacco so let’s stay on that if we can. Real steeler fans really don’t care what the ravens do unless it impacts the steelers and unfortunately this year that is all done.

We’ll let you borrow Charlie batch. He’ll take care of that scrub team for you. Like he did 6 weeks ago. Save Brady for the super bowl. Ravens gotucky. Pick 6 on a pass interference not called. Tuck rule fumble. Botched call. They need help from the refs every game. Crybaby fans, coach and team. A complete classless organization from the top down.. I hope they don’t fluke and win it all. They will be more insufferable than that unintelligent fanbase already is!!!

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 19:24:23 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1644636#comment-2258295Oh come ON! Flacco’s fluke TD was nothing more than the stupidity of Denver not dropping back the entire defense in coverage. You’re telling me any prevent defense allows a receiver to get behind them? That’s not QB skill, that’s defensive stupidity.

All Denver had to do was drop 8 guys back, wait for the deep ball, pick it off or knock it down, and we’re talking about how Flacco didn’t even make the AFC Championship again. ANYONE who claims this was QB skill simply is clueless. Apparently that describes a lot of you.

That guy on TV who calls him “Fluke-o” pretty much has it pegged right.

First off the first pick was not a PI both Player were there at the same time…be mad at Decker for not catching it. Second the Tuck rule was not even in play on Mannings fumble because McPhee touched his arm and the ball came loose on the forward motion…you must be an idiot…question whats your excuse for the last pick in OT that cost the Broncos the game??? Oh an “fake” steeler fans on hear talking crap thats right you are “fake” you want the ravens to lose you need the ravens to loose so you can feel better about yourselves…misery loves company…respect to REAL steeler fans.

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 17:52:51 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1644636#comment-2257997Hey Flacco made some big time plays but I’m a little surprised tat defense didn’t, you know, adjust.

Champ Bailey had no business sungling up against Smith in the first half–it cost them two scores.

And any team that understands how to play three deep doesn’t let that last pass happen.

And while I don’t want to take anything away from the Ravens, that first pick 6 should have been p.i. It ended up being the final factor in the game that allowed the Ravens to tie.

He led the Ravens to victories over the Colts and a Peyton Manning led Broncos team. Two big emotional wins for Baltimore fans. I think it was cathartic for them.

And now he and the Ravens have a potential rematch in Foxboro looming for a trip to the big game. Flacco had better numbers than Brady did in the AFCCG last year. In fact, the Ravens were the better team. If Sterling Moore doesn’t knock that ball away or Cundiff hits that chip shot, we are talking about a completely different history.

That being said, go Patriots, beat the Texans and make the rematch happen. Bring it!

The Raiders won championships in 1976, 1980, and 1983. That is over and in the past. When are Steeler fans going to stop living on their past and focus on their present. You should be focusing on losses to poor Oakland, Tennessee, and Cleveland teams. I would aso look at an overweight Big Ben’s penchant for throwing late game picks. Focus on the now. Right now you are a sub par to middle of the road franchise. I know the Ravens are your rival but give credit where credit is do.

6 0 Focusing on the now I realize how little you know about football outside of your chosen team. I give the ravens plenty of credit but the not pseudo experts such as yourself.

Flacco’s delivered time and again from his rookie year on, and why he doesn’t get respect just because his “numbers” aren’t spectacular is beyond stupid. Most teams would pray to be in the playoffs 5 straight years with a QB coming into the league and in the third straight AFC championship game.

If not for a receiver dropping a tD and then the kicker missing the kick, I’m pretty sure he’d be a Super Bowl defending QB right now because what happened to the Giants week 16 in Baltimore would have been what happened had that been the matchup instead of the Patriots last January.

And before anyone says the defense carried him there most years, how’d the Kyle Boller years go? He’s a good QB who’s clutch, something I’d trade all day over Tecmo Bowl stats.
